It is obvious to me that the online programs do a very good job of maintaining their millions of users. But this kind of attack undermines users' confidence in the entire community.

There is no way any company could attach his pension without getting a judgment on the debt and there are a whole bunch of steps he would've had to ignore for it to get to that point. The company (any company) would have sent notice of a delinquent account by email and/or letter (probably both), to which he could have responded and fought or negotiated, It then would have been turned over to a collection agency which would have tried several methods to contact him, to which he could have responded. If it was taken to court to get a judgment against him, he had to be served at his last known address and he could have hired a lawyer (or the Legal Aid Society, or gone through the local Bar association's pro bono program, if he had income issues), or fought it on his own/pro bono.<br /><br />At any point, in his fight, he could have contacted his state's Attorney General's office and asked them to look into it. It's their job to protect the consumers of their state, and they will investigate.<br /><br />Thie scenario described above doesn't read as credible, frankly.Jo Hennhttp://jahcmft.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-75571436518009450492015-03-23T19:41:54.780-07:002015-03-23T19:41:54.780-07:00Maybe, Maybe not.

From what the comment sounds like, thats probably what the commenter did.<br /><br />I'm guessing the person googled for complaint issues or something like that, postedout of anger and/or frustration for getting into a situation that they probably didn't pay enough attention to (partly from clicking through things and part from not being technologically knowledgeable enough).<br /><br />Crafting in Yoohoovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223824425648008880noreply@blogger.com
